Sait had courted controversy after a video footage showed him surfing pictures on his mobile phone at a government function held on Tipu Jayanthi. The opposition in Karnataka has been demanding action against the minister.

Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah had said that viewing porn in the assembly and outside are not the same. He, however, added that he did not support what had happened and had sought for a report on the same.

Sait, on the other hand, claimed he did no wrong and said he would not step down as minister.
